The students at Technion—Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel have successfully designed a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) using NI AWR Design Environment™. The design challenge was to build an efficient, easy-to-use SAR simulator that would connect to MATLAB for signal processing and that could handle many targets on the surface and then use MATLAB to calculate the object shapes.

Drayson Technologies has used CST electromagnetic simulation software to help develop Freevolt, an energy harvesting technology that turns unused RF signals into electricity.

Modelithics Inc., the industry leader in simulation models for RF, microwave, and millimeter wave devices, is pleased to report that the Electrical Engineering department at Chalmers University has adopted the Modelithics® COMPLETE Library and the Modelithics® Qorvo GaN Library for use in multiple electronics design courses.
